U.S.-Vietnam Cooperative Research in Simulation Studies of Strongly Interacting, Disordered Electronic Systems

该奖项支持明尼苏达大学和威斯康辛大学与越南国立大学在两种相关电子系统，稀土磁体和半导体量子点的初步研究阶段的合作。越南国家自然科学技术中心；以及河内工业大学。拟议的研究是1998年1月在河内举行的科学和技术周期间讨论的结果，部分得到了国家科学基金会的支持。越南已经在稀土永磁体领域建立了研究实力，这是越南的一个重要领域，稀土储量巨大。越南在这一领域的实验工作与通过合作提供的建模支持相结合，有望建立互利的研究伙伴关系。量子点的工作涉及到一个非常有趣的领域，即简单随机矩阵理论模型无法预测无序量子点的能级结构。越南科学家在建模方面的经验将补充美国团队的方法，并将有助于理解这个问题，这是当前纳米结构的许多基础实验研究的基础。

The proposed research is an outgrowth of discussions held in Hanoi January 1998 during the Science and Technology Week, partially supported by NSF.The Vietnamese have already established research strength in the area of rare earth permanent magnets, an important area for Vietnam, which has significant rare earth reserves. The combination of the Vietnamese experimental work in this area with the modeling support available through the collaboration is promising for a mutually beneficial research partnership. The work on quantum dots is relevant to an area of considerable interest, the failure of the simple random matrix theory model to predict the energy level structure of disordered quantum dots. Vietnamese scientists have experience in modeling that will complement the approach of the US team and will contribute to understanding this problem, which underlies much of the current fundamental experimental research in nanostructures.
